STREAMS OF infammable air issuing
from wells and mines and natural c~revices
in the earth, in regions unierlaid with
coal strata have long attracted scientific
curiosity, hut it is only recently that nat.
ural gas has been sought by artificial
means. The search has been so success
full that the petroleum excitement scarcely
surpassed hat which has followed the dis
covcH wherever made. There is not only
no reason to doubt, but there is every
reason to believe that Wyoming offers a
more promising field for exploration of
this kind than any other region of equal
extent on the globe. Its wealth in coal and
oil is known though undevelopcd; the pres,
ence of gas is a natural consequence and
it is entirely safe to- predict that it will be
sought and utilized within the next few
years TO come.

One OF the ~curiosities of science is to be
found in the effect of impurities upon an
alloy of gold and copper or other metal.
WORKERS in the precious metal nave long
known that minute quantities of certain
other metals render gold brittle and un-
workable. 1t is, in fact, u serious diff
Guilty with which jewelers. have always
had to contend.
IN an experiment recently made to dem
onstrate this truth, 200 sovereigns were
melted and IA minute portion of lead add
Ell, amounting only to the 2,000th part OF
the weight of the mass. A little of the
pure gold had been first ran into q small
ingot, which was bent and flattened to
prove that It was perfectly workable.
The rest of the mass was allowed to
harden in the form of n bar, and when 1t
was sufficiently cool to handle 1t could be
broken by n slight tap of n hammer, or
even with the fingers. The color of the
gold was quite altered and had become an
orange brown, while its tenacitY-that is,
its resistance TO n force cNerted to pull it
asunder-had been reduced from eighteen
tons to the square inch to five tons.
A bar of tin, which could scarcely be
broken, though IL would readily bend
double, was rubbed with n slight guam
tity Of quicksilver. Tho fluid penetrated
the solid one, and in a few seconds the bar
could be readily broken. Its fractured
surface WINS white, like silver.

GEN. BEN su7LeR,s "spooNs.u
uis Story ON the Witness Stand Concern
ing the Famous Silyerware.

His Story ON the Witness Stand Concern
ing the Famous Silverwnre.
Gen. Benjamin f. Butler was on the
witness stand in Washington the other
day in a case brought In the court of claims
by the heirs of Gen. David Z. Twtggs, of
New Orleans, to recover the value of GER
tain property taken by the United States
during the military occupation Of that
city in 1862. Among the property. was
some silverware, Of which the famous
spoons constitute n part-the spoons of
which so much has been said and so little
has been known for twenty-five years.
Gen. Butler has, of course, previously
denied that he ever transferred any prop
erty in New Orleans to his own pocket,
but this is the first time, we believe, that
he has been enabled to make a detailed
statement under oath as to the disposal OF
the silverware of which those celebrated
spoons formed a part.
After reciting the circumstances of his
occupation of the Twiggs mansion, Gen.
Butler Opposes that when he wns relieved
OF his command he asked his successor,
Gen. Banks, to appoint a property COM
mission, which he did. An inventory was
then taken of all the property that Gen.
Butler and his agents Ind, and it was
turned over to Gen. Banks md u receipt
taken for 1t. rs to the particular parcel
containing the spoons, Ten, Butler says:
There Is but one article that 1 have
any distinct remembrance Of which was
in my personal possession. TIT part of
this property not in use was stored in the
custom house, where there were large
vaults, and among it was u tin box of
jewelry, with a most ordinary lock upon
1t. My property agents at the time
brought it to me and said it was very val
liable; the custom house vaults were open
to everybody and 1t might be carried of.
l thereupon took it from him, sealed it
up carefully with the ring which / then
wore upon my finger and still wear, and
put 1t into my own safe, and when this
inventory was taken | had It receipted for
in the words found in the receipt: One tin
box containing jowelry, sealed This
property all went into the actual posses
sion Of Capt. Mcclure before | left New
Orleans. My property agent had to re-
main behind to settle up various matters,
and 1 directed him to see to it that the
chief quartermaster signed the receipt,
which he did on the LIST of January, 1868.
81 have no further personal knowledge
of what became of the property"
This particular and detailed statement,
made under oath in n United States court,
may be presumed to settle finally the once
vexed question of what Gen. Butler did
with those spoonS.-New York Mail and

a CONFERENCE between Russian and
English delegates has resulted.in a refusal
on the part of either to make any conces-
sion in the Afghan frontier dispute. Ne
gotiations are to be terminated unless
another meeting, to be held today, can
effect a compromise, a conclusion rather
hoped for than expected. As the con-
ference holds its sessions at st. Peters
burg, the attitude of the Russian repre-
sentatives results from the immediate die
tation of the ear.
